at a certain level of any creative or intellectual collaborative job the main task is sin-eater: to fix what you can and get blamed for what you can’t, secretly knowing how much worse it would have been if you hadn’t done what you did.

You might think from the headline that this is a story about a trans kid suffering medical consequences from a large drug dose but nope! It is just an interview with an estranged father who is angry that his child happily transitioned.

Valve has now rejected my complaint, confirming that "I don't like muslims" is a valid reason to leave a negative review on a game on Steam
This is where we're at now.

The thing that gets me about this is that even if we wanted to make a positive AI ad, they never showcase AI being used to enhance someone’s day or improve their workflow. There’s no “it allows me to more easily do what I love.” It’s always presented as a failsafe for the dispassionate and incurious
Every ad for AI is like
Person: FUCK!! I don’t know what to get my loved one for Christmas!!!!!! I love them so much!!! Tell me what to do, AI!!
AI: get sock
Title Card: You are literally the smartest person for doing this

I've seen so many artists who admit they don't post art because they struggle with alt-text and posting art without it is unthinkable so they don't
it's your art, it's your account, do what you want, inclusivity is not the same thing as constant boundaryless open access to the point of sacrifice

if you are an artist your compatriots are the people that make food and the people that make porno
Saw someone saying you shouldn't interact with NSFW accounts online if your account isn't also purely NSFW and FUCK THAT BULLSHIT.
They can adjust their settings to avoid nudes and porn. You do whatever the fuck you want to do you freaks 😘💙

I am so furious at YouTube for doing this. You have literal gambling ads plastered across your website. The video you take action on contains no real gambling, and is promoting an LGBTQ+ children's charity fundraiser. Absolutely horrendous image and optics for the website. Completely moronic
I am beyond upset, YouTube has age restricted my video tonight for thinking it depicts real actual gambling. The video is on CloeverPit and contains no real gambling, but does contain a massive charity push for The Trevor Project. Last time this happened I almost quit YouTube
